Bit disappointing that the "tour" company left so much to the client such as:(1). Having to buy your own tickets to parks online (difficult in Spanish); (2). Finding your own way from bus station /airport to hotel and back.(3). Day 5 - Bus from Puerto Natalaes to Punta Arenas to fly home - obviously via Santiago - when we could have flown from Puerto Natales directly to Santiago; waste of time and an extra flying expense. (4).When Aereolineas Argentina went on strike on 30 October, I could not get to El Calafate and so I missed the trip to Perito Moreno glacier and 1 night in hotel (Rincon). Tour company promisrd refund for cost of tour to glacier and 50% of hotel cost - NZD 134 refund was made. My calculations indicate that this "refund" a bit on the shy side. (5). The tour was not actually a tour as such with a group of fellow travellers - rather "tour" company is more like a "booking service" that clips the ticket big time. Will not likely recommend this tour company, but communication was good.Show more

Thank you for your feedback Robert, we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. We understand that some aspects, like purchasing park tickets and managing certain transfers, can be inconvenient. However, due to national park regulations, tickets must often be purchased directly by each visitor, and this is noted in the tour description along with details on which transfer services are included. Additionally, transfers to and from the bus station are not included due to two reasons: firstly, there is no reliable way to predict the arrival times of buses; and secondly, in transfers to and from bus terminals the price goes up in such a way that it would lead to a gross overcharge. Furthermore, the bus terminal is within walking distance of the Hotel, so it would not be fair to charge you for such a service. We’re glad to hear communication was good throughout, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the incredible destinations visited during your trip.
